I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

The assassins seemed surprised by Ye Kang's bluntness and were momentarily stunned.

But they didn't listen to the advice; instead, they got closer and closer.

Ye Kang didn't waste any words with them. He unleashed his aura, and a powerful burst of true energy swept out, instantly knocking them over.

This scene stunned everyone nearby.

"Isn't that the Xie family's young master? He's amazing!"

"Were the Cui family's assassins who blocked our way dealt with just like that?"

Looking at the surprised expressions on these people's faces, Ye Kang's confusion deepened.

So he casually grabbed a young master, whose face turned pale, and he wanted to run away but dared not move.

"Young Master, what are you doing...?"

"Don't panic, tell me what these assassins want? What do you know?"

The young master was dumbfounded.

"You don't know?"

"Do I need to know anything?"

The young master immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"I see. Young Master, you're new here and it seems you're unfamiliar with the inside story. In Jinling, no one is unaware of the feud between the Xie and Cui families!"

"resentment?"

"That's right. More than 20 years ago, the Xie and Cui families were to be married. However, the third young lady of the Xie family ran away from the marriage. The Cui family wanted to chase after her, but the Xie family patriarch stopped them. Since then, the Xie and Cui families have become distant. Apart from some younger generations who still keep in touch, they have basically had no contact with each other."

The young master became more and more excited as he spoke, but he didn't notice that Ye Kang's expression was getting darker and darker.

Is there even a question? Isn't the third young lady of the Xie family his mother?

No wonder my parents' elopement went so smoothly; it turns out my grandfather secretly helped them.

"So today?"

"Exactly! It's already spread throughout Jinling. It's said that the Xie family had a favor to ask, and the Cui family used the old incident to make things difficult for them, so the marriage alliance was revived. However, we only know that the Cui family would block the way and cause trouble, but we don't know the specifics."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang released the young master, having roughly figured out the situation.

The events of that year were too complicated, and he wasn't very interested in them.

However, the impact of that time has rippled into the present day.

"No wonder Grandpa suddenly wrote a letter home and suddenly wanted to arrange a marriage for my eldest brother. It turns out that he wanted to give the Cui family an explanation. So today, are we going to use my eldest brother as a weapon?"

Ye Kang's expression turned cold. If that were the case, he would absolutely not allow his elder brother to be wronged.

I came to Nanjing to visit relatives, not to be humiliated.

He was just about to go and ask his uncle for clarification when a loud shout suddenly came from ahead.

"Xie Liancheng! This is Cui family territory; you are not allowed to enter!"

Ye Kang immediately activated his five senses to look around, and saw that all the people on the wide road ahead had been cleared out, with only a few men dressed in Cui family attire standing there.

One of them was over sixty years old, dressed in gold and silver, exuding an imposing aura, and his aura had reached the peak of the seventh rank.

Xie Liancheng, riding on his horse, sighed helplessly.

"Brother Cui, why bother?"

The elderly man snorted coldly, "No discussion! If you want to marry a girl from my Cui family, then you'll have to pass three tests as agreed before we talk!"

Xie Liancheng stared at him for a long time, then finally smiled nonchalantly and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll take the plunge."

After saying that, Xie Liancheng flew out, revealing his cultivation level of the early eighth rank, which stunned everyone.

That's right, Xie Liancheng's strength is even higher than Xie Yuan's.

This is also why he was able to remain the head of the Xie family.

Upon seeing the appearance of an eighth-rank official, the opposing group quickly formed a battle formation.

There are four seventh-grade experts in total. When the battle formation is activated, they can definitely dominate the seventh grade, but compared with the eighth grade, they are still far inferior.

With just one punch, Xie Liancheng shattered the battle formation, and all four men coughed up blood and flew backward without any resistance.

Ye Kang felt a chill run down his spine; this was the true situation when an eighth-rank official and a seventh-rank official clashed.

This also shows how impressive his counterattack against Yan Huan was.

Ye Kang was also surprised.

The eldest uncle actually took to the field himself, so it seems he wasn't just using the Ye family as a weapon. After all, even the head of the Xie family was involved. If they were still humiliated, then the entire Xie family would be disgraced.

Ye Kang remained at the very back, while Xie Liancheng in front continuously struck, sending each member of the Cui family flying.

Slowly, the filming of the seventh grade was completed.

A person who was also at the initial stage of the eighth rank stood at the end of the street.

"Xie Liancheng, go back. Don't humiliate yourself."

"You old bastard, I'm going to beat you up!"

Xie Liancheng suddenly lost his temper and punched him.

Since they were inside the city, both of them were very restrained, using no wide-ranging moves, only the most basic fist and foot techniques, yet their fight was still exceptionally exciting.

Ye Kang found it boring and thought to himself, "Isn't this just a joke?"

Just then, the seventh-rank experts who had been knocked away by Xie Liancheng suddenly rushed towards the back of the group.

"Take Ye Ping away! If we can get him, the Xie family will lose!"

A group of people attacked, and just as Ye Kang was about to make a move, several Xie family experts who had been lying in ambush rushed out and stopped them.

Well, Ye Kang realized that he didn't need to do anything at all; he just had to follow along. The Xie family had already arranged everything.

He was happy to have some peace and quiet, and could simply watch the show.

The two groups fought their way to the Cui family's doorstep in this extremely restrained battle.

Xie Liancheng was already disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and there were several fist-sized bruises on his face.

Even so, he still walked confidently to the front of the Cui family's gate and shouted, "Master Cui, Liancheng and his nephew have come to visit relatives. Please open the door, Master Cui!"

The "Master Cui" that Xie Liancheng mentioned was naturally the patriarch of the Cui family.

Only that person deserves Xie Liancheng's title of "Master".

However, after a while, the door remained unmoved. Just as Xie Liancheng was about to speak again, a gust of wind swept by.

A weathered voice came from inside the door.

"You may come to visit the relatives. Everyone else, please stay here. Tell the young man who is here to come in."

Although the voice was old, it was full of authority, causing Xie Liancheng's face to turn pale.

He looked at Ye Ping, his expression constantly changing.

They actually let Ye Ping go in alone. This was not in the plan. Ping'er doesn't know martial arts. Isn't he just asking to get beaten up if he goes in?

He quickly said, "Please forgive me, Master Cui. Ping'er has no talent for martial arts and may not be able to withstand your aura alone."

"Hmph, sending a good-for-nothing who doesn't know martial arts to marry my granddaughter, you're quite the schemer. But I've heard that Xie Yunying's youngest son is very powerful. In that case, let him in. You, Xie Liancheng, can't pass this final test!"

The thunderous roar caused dark clouds to gather in the sky, making people tremble with fear.

Upon hearing this, Xie Liancheng slowly turned his head and looked at Ye Kang, who was at the very back.

He said, "Kang'er, do you dare to go in and fight?"

Ye Kang was dumbfounded.

I?

You want me to fight an old monster at the eighth-rank extreme realm?

What's the difference between what you're doing and the Nine-Headed Insect ordering Benboba to get rid of Tang Sanzang and his disciples?

However, before he could speak, another angry roar came from inside the gate.

"Get lost! What war? How could I, an old man, bully the weak? Xie Liancheng, if you try to play these petty tricks on me again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Xie Liancheng immediately cupped his hands in greeting and gave an awkward smile.

Ye Kang also realized that, well, it turned out that his uncle was just bragging and exaggerating to make a show of himself.

Since he didn't have to fight the old monster, Ye Kang was no longer afraid.

He walked straight over and said solemnly, "Uncle, my brother is visiting relatives. As his younger brother, I'll risk my life to help him!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Goodness, you're even better at pretending than Xie Liancheng!
